Framed Print Info
All the limited edition prints are available framed. We have
carefully selected a double mat and frame combination that
matches the artwork in a neutral format. We use a traditional
solid wood oak frame that does come in different shades. Typically
we use the darker oak, but this is available in blue/gray,
natural oak, light oak, and mulberry. The frame is about 1.½"
wide and 1.½" deep. We use Baimbridge acid free
mats from their Alphamat collection. We typically use a chrome
(light gray) top mat and blue inner mat with overall width
of 3". Standard single strength glass is used with conservation
mounting corners. Most of the prints can be viewed framed
on the website, however true color is hard to represent with
a digital camera. If you have preferences or any questions
regarding the framing, please send an e-mail to greenart@fast.net
or call toll free 866-492-3067.
About the Prints
All of Richard's prints are limited edition; each print is
signed and numbered by the artist. The artist works with watercolors
on illustration board that is taken to a professional photography
studio to make transparencies to be used in the reproduction
process. After we have the transparencies, size of the print,
edition run, and text are configured. Next in the process,
a graphics company makes printable separations that are approved
by the artist. If a print is of a registered building or uses
official college logos, we have to get the product approval
by the University before continuing. Finally, it is time to
run the prints on a (4) color offset press; the artist monitors
the entire printing process very carefully and pulls prints
off of the press to inspect for color correctness, these become
artist proofs. The rest of the prints are run off, allowed
to dry, and are trimmed. The prints are available for sale
by themselves, shrink-wrapped, or framed. Shrink-wrapped prints
are placed upon a 3/16" foam core board and are wrapped
in plastic for protection. This method of purchase is typical
for giving unframed prints as gifts.
